Looking for a guru on these cars to help me identify what was factory and what may be latter additions on these cars
I have been offered first refusal on a 1998 cable throttle 996 aero kitted car with M030 with H & R springs, LSD,TC it is non sunroof, hard back black leather sports seats so pretty much what appears to be the holy grail of early 996 cars.
My question is what codes should I be looking for on the options sticker to ensure what infront of me actually is a factory optioned car and not one with all the bits added which I presume will effect long term value? Any other pointers or clues, read somewhere that front bumpers have centre intake for radiator blanked on factory carrera cars but the GT3 and the later supplied bumper this is open to feed the additional radiator on a GT3. Also read something about gurney strips and black/body colour being right/wrong etc
Also further confused that have also read some cars came out of the factory non aero and the aero kit was fitted by supplying dealer before sale? how can I identify if this is indeed true and could have been the case?
I want to get this right and pay a value that reflects what it actually is if that makes sense?
Any help greatly appreiciated.

By the way the car is NOT one of the aero cars currently on ebay etc from a single seller or otherwise advertised at the moment for sale.
